The conversion of the 2009 Surly Long Haul Trucker took place in late summer 2022.
I now have 3,000 miles on the odometer on the Bafang motor. Everything has been great!
I highly recommend the conversion. It has let me keep riding,
and with age and sore knees that was a worry.

My riding these days has been limited to 15 miles outings in hilly terrain & shopping trips
to the grocery store.
This conversion just works.
I would not change a thing.

My original concern was with the rim brakes of the old Surly Long Haul Trucker for an e-bike conversion. I can report that with the type of riding that I do, the is no issue with having rim brakes.
